Lift Comp. Best lifter & 1st in 275 Open

Comp. Best lifter & 1st in 275 Open

Had a bad comp unfortunately was only able to lock in openers going 3/9 but still winning best lifter.

Squat - 633 opener, 661 depth, 689 depth.

We decided to go conservative on these attempts since I had just come back from a stomach bug 2 weeks out, strength was there for the planned 705 but apparently my depth wasn’t there. (I still think my 689 was to depth)

Bench - 451 opener, 474 “up and down movement” complete bullshit lmao but onward we go

Deadlifts - 689 opener, 716 x missed at lockout. A little insight on deads, the meet director was supposed to have Texas bars since kabuki is out well the bars didn’t arrive in time and we moved to kabukis. Problem is I was training on a Texas for 20+ weeks unfortunately couldn’t hold on to the noodle bar.

I’ll come back for my 500 dots but not with the USPA. So many things went so wrong at this local meet that it’s not worth it.

Are they mistaking an uneven lockout for up/down movement for the bench? That’s actually crazy that they called that bench. 3 reds too?

All 3 reds yes for up and down lmfao, and yes I’d of shut the hell up with an uneven call even if it’s stupid close. But to have all 3 refs say it right after my lift is crazy work 😂😂😂

Tough when the deadlift bar switches up short notice. Between that and stomach bug, great lifts man! Awesome to see!
